Girls weekend getaway
Enjoyed the beautiful and spacious property with lovely views and a quiet neighborhood. Had a lot of fun with our own happy hour in the pub downstairs. The kitchen’s ample seating made it a perfect gathering when cooking going on in the well stocked kitchen. Something special about being in a hot tub outside in the crisp air of winter. Emily and Kevin were responsive to our questions and needs. Had a great time shopping in Galena. Highly recommend.

Family Get Together
The house was very accommodating to a large family gathering. Living fairly close to this location we had people coming and going and always had plenty of room for food and games. Some went skiing, some went downtown Galena and others just enjoyed the house, resort and each others company.

Beautiful Home
We rented this home for a sibling reunion. One of the reasons we chose this home was that each bedrooms had their own private bathroom. The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The layout worked well for us. One thing I would recommend is bringing your own spices, seasonings & tin foil.

Girls Galena Getaway
Six of us enjoyed our stay! Spacious rooms and wonderful hot tub, thank you! A couple oddities were the main floor showers weren't intuitive to turn on and stumped us, and the rules stated we needed to use plastic glasses in hot tub but there weren't any. Also would've been nice to have a few basic staples like Pam spray or oil, etc.

overall impression very good. Main floor bedroom with attached sitting room had one floor vent that was putting out warm air when the A/C was being used - had to close that vent entirely to keep the warm air out.

Long weekend with old friends. The house is very accommodating for a large group. A lot of space, beds, bathrooms. It could use some updating. I few things didn’t work properly and outside maintenance was needed. It was very clean and plenty of amenities.

Lovely home in a beautiful setting
Amazing home for a family vacation. It was decorated in beautiful style and there’s plenty of room outside in the back to set up games like bags. Owners were very responsive to questions and it was a pleasure dealing with them. Nice hot tub in the back. It came with some passes to the Association pool and club house (2 pools - indoor and outdoor) and is close to Galena and some hiking areas. Highly recommend this place.

The house is spacious. We had 4 adults & 4 children & there was plenty of room for everyone. We used the hot tub & the fire pit was great fun for the kids. The property manager was very responsive to the small issues we had & very gracious. The only issue was not enough aminity tags as stated in website.

Beautiful home, nicely decorated and comfortable and layed out. All 5 bedrooms with bathrooms are very spacious and comfortable. Lots of room to relax and huge gathering areas, including the bar area in the lower area. Great deck and hot tub! Highly recommended for your vacations. Families can have privacy when they want and then gather all in the spacious rooms to be with each other.

Weekend family celebration!
12 of us were able to easily stay in this house! It was the perfect backdrop for our family get away with all the siblings. Just enough away from downtown galena to have a peaceful retreat. We went into downtown galena for the morning of check in and explored. Check in was all online and a breeze! The house is set up wonderfully with full baths attached to every bedroom. Very spacious! The great room was perfect for us. We all like to gather to prep food and dine. The kitchen was well supplied! Grill is updated and perfect! Webers are awesome grills. The decks are great for morning coffee or night stargazing! We enjoyed both! It was fantastic that the fireplace and fire pit was available! The fact that wood is supplied makes it even BETTER!! We love telling family stories by the fires. Great experiences overall and we would surely return for another get away!! Thanks so much almost heaven rentals!!!

The property was very spacious. The men in the group feel the TV was to small. The only issue was the kitchen cabinets were hard to open. Very sticky. We forgot an item in the house and the property manager was very helpful in getting it back for us.
